President Eliot addressed the Harvard students last evening on his recent observations among the educational institutes of the west, and compared the educational systems of the two sections of the country. He emphasized especially the popularity of the elective system in the west and the greater interest taken there in the subject of drawing. He said that he liked the spirit of work among western students. Said he: "I never meet a body of western students but what I think I would like to transplant them to the east," He commended the pride of western people in their educational institutions and assured their success and prosperity. Physical culture in the east, he said, surpassed that in the west. Western colleges were extending a welcome to practical teaching talent: He stated that he intended to speak soon on the "Western Town" from its material and social points.—Chicago Tribune
PRESIDENT ELIOT of Harvard took back in part what he said of the west as is shown in the appended.
thinking of the life led by a student our mind wanders back to the school boy days. We see it all now; it is just as real as if we were experiencing the same sensations over again. The fateful morning arrived (a moment in our young likes we had been anticipating with joy and fear) upon which we were to start to school. Our father took us by the hand, we have to reach pretty high, and led us, scared and trembling, up the broad stone steps. Those same steps where later on we used to sit during recess and play jacks because the marble would bounce. We did not then notice that the flat topped banisters of the step were worn smooth and bright by hundreds of boys and girls sliding down them, but we soon joined the merry, light hearted crowd and slid down the inclined plane as many children are doing now and will continue to do as the years roll by. When we first went into the hall, everything seemed so strange and bare, nothing but the white walls, oiled floors, high doors and broad stair case. We met the janitor and he directed us up to the principle's office. Here we entered the first act, first scene of the great drama of school life. While the principal, who was a gray haired, long bearded old man, was talking, our eyes wandered about the room and took in lots of books, papers, apparatus that we could not name, and a score of other things that were strange to us. Soon our case was settled and when our father left us we felt as if we had lost our only friend, and wished we were home cutting pictures out of the dictionary, or marking up the wall paper. The principal led us down stairs into the first room, and through a little hall that had lots of of hats, caps, and coats hanging up on the side. We hung our hat up on a hook and wondered if we would ever see it again. When we went into the room we saw lots of boys and girls sitting on little benches with desks in front of them. They were arranged in rows and looked like the blocks we had used to represent soldiers. The teacher was standing by her desk and had a square frame in her hand with lots of bright colored beads strung upon wires. She would push them along the wire and the scholars would count, one, two, three, up to ten. As soon as we were inside, the counting stopped, and about fifty pairs of bright, sparkling eyes were turned towards us. We could see them twinkle, and felt that we were being scrutinized, and a feeling of relief passed over us when the teacher told us to sit down at the front desk. The principal then left and it seemed that we were entirely deserted. The counting was again resumed and we commenced to take in the surroundings. We watched a funny little groove along the top of our desk, and wondered what it was for, and a little iron lid that covered a glass cup, and we thought that it would do to well play with
A REVERIE.
Soon recess came, and when the big bell sounded (the tone of which we will never forget) all the boys and girls got up from their desks and went out. Not knowing that such an institution as recess existed, we kept our seat, but the teacher said we might go out and play. We were both to do so, having in part become acquainted with our surroundings and we did not wish to encounter new ones. When we came upon the play ground we saw hundreds of boys and girls, running, shouting, laughing and talking. When recess was over we returned to the school room and then received our first lesson. At noon we ran all the way home, and if we ever appreciated that, the dearest of all spots on earth to man, we did then.
But the novelty of the scene soon wore off, we became acquainted and could in turn gaze at a new boy with the same strong glare that had been directed towards us. Then recess, instead of being a reign of terror to us, was the most pleasant part of the day's programme. We would sit and watch the clock and count the minutes when the bell would ring; we soon learned when the recess mark was on the recess dial. And then we had fifteen minutes of games; marbles, tops, jacks, bean bag, ball, leap frog, end and over, jumping, prisoner's base, and a score of others invented for the express use of children. The years rolled by, we went from room to room and teacher to teacher, and when we got to the high school we had with us some of the same boys and girls that we had first met down in the lowest room years and years ago. Then we became too dignified to play marbles, and would go around to the coal front steps and drive the little boys away, as we had been driven, and while away the too short moments talking to the Junior and Senior girls. But now all that is passed, and we feel better for looking back over it all and picking out the bright spots in our childish life, where the sunlight of happiness has served to make them clear. You do the same; not now, for you are in a hurry, but some time, when you have nothing to do. See, if, when the memorials of the past float before your minds eye, they do not take form and definite shape, and cause you to smile and sigh, perhaps. It is better than building air castles, because it is all real and does not call for a stretch of the imagination. Do not cut out what is bitter because it will serve to intensify that which is sweet and pleasaat.
ALARMED in its own stunted soul at the thought of having unconsciously paid us a compliment in its last issue, that dog in the manger, alias Washburn Reporter, pokes its ugly canine head over the side and snarls out a brainless vituperation at us. Go ahead, scorpion. We suppressed our indignation at the thought of receiving a compliment from so questionable a source, and are heartily glad for our own reputation's sake that you withdrew it. When attired in the bright garb of originality, we don't want any fawning cur to wag his tail, place his dirty fore-feet affectionately on our raiment, or lick us with his billion tongue. We know who "sicked" you on. It was a would-be poet whom we promptly sat down upon for annoying us with a plagiarized poem, and when we consider that you have suffered yourself to be handled and operated by the fellow with the probable aid of a bone, our contempt for you forces us to shy this boot jack at you and go on with our business. We will continue to write our short editorials if for no other reason than to hear you growl.
THE board of regents never did a wiser thing than in giving Professor Blackmar an assistant in his department. It is only to be hoped that the assistant will produce in himself the exemplary traits of character so prominent in his gentlemanly, scholarly and competent supervisor, Prof. Blackmar. This department has become one of the most important and popular branches of the University, and on that account called for more attention than one instructor could give it. The study of history has been revolutionized, and it is now considered one of the most important branches of knowledge, in fact the keystone to many other branches. The action of the board in this matter is another proof of the wisdom of that body.

Don't fail to see the NEW PROCESS. The most brilliant photo ever produced on exhibition at the Kaw River Studio.
IT is better to be a few minutes early than to be one moment too late.
It takes TIME to finish photos in a first-class manner, and students wishing their photos in time to distribute among their friends before commencement should leave their orders with MORRIS at once. They will cost no more now than after the rush commences, and you run no risk in getting them on time.
